Unless it Tastes Like a Pumpkin Spice Latte...

Story Sent in by Judith:

In his profile photos, Daniel looked normal. When I met up with him, he had a weird purple stain all around his mouth. At first I thought it was from food, but upon closer inspection I saw that it was some kind of skin... thing. It was a weird skin condition that looked kind of shiny in certain light. What didn't help matters was that he kept licking it.

In his defense, he was really nice. I enjoyed talking with him throughout dinner although his facial issue was just too much to ignore. And he just kept licking it! I wanted to reach out and grab his tongue and tell him to stop it! But I didn't.

And maybe it was my imagination but the weird face thing seemed to actually grow. Not all of a sudden but by the middle of dinner it was definitely bigger than it had been when I first saw him.

"Is your face okay?" I finally asked as I was truly concerned.

"Yep," he said without further explanation.

After dinner we took a brief walk and he went in for a kiss. I leaned away and he said, "It's not contagious. Come on." He tried again and I again leaned away.

"Come on," he said again, "you'll like how it tastes." He went in a third time and I moved away once more. It looked positively sticky and I was just too grossed out.

Taking the hint, he stepped away from me and said, "I don't get it."

"It's a little fast for a first date," I told him. He seemed to understand. I'm glad. I wasn't about to put my mouth anywhere near that weird growth. We parted on good terms and I went home.

He asked me out again and I turned him down. I just couldn't shake the image of him licking his purple face.
